Villa Velmarie Yoga and Ayurveda House All Inclusive

Environment: Peaceful and relaxing

I am 4 days into my 7 day stay at this little gem of a retreat. I love the simplicity of everything. The tranquility amazing healthy foods and the beautiful kind and caring staff. The staff go out of their way to ensure everything is perfect. They make the place feel like home. Many people come back year after year after trying other centres, they love this one the best, and I can see why. It’s February and still very hot. Bring mosquito spray and sunscreen. There is air conditioning in the rooms and a swimming pool. the cool breeze is a treat. The people who come here are from all over the world, some come for the treatments, some to learn the Ayurvedic ways. It’s an ancient medicine with incredible results from the massages and treatments, botanical medications for your particular needs, the excellent cuisine. I can hear the sea crashing close-by but wouldn’t swim there, just lovely for sunset on the beach and beautiful beach walks. One could dip near the rocks, but it’s not a swimming beach which means no unwanted tourists, just the locals and those who want to enjoy tranquility and beauty. I’ve learned a lot already about Ayurvedic healing, but there is so much to learn. 2 treatments per day. Forced relaxation, zero stress, options to take tuk tuk to see other things if you want to. We did a meditation and yoga on another beach while the sun set. So beautiful. Once again - All the staff are exceptional, the gardener is also fix it man. Wifi, bathroom - you name it, he can do it. The chef also take on other roles to ensure everything runs smoothly. Don’t expect fancy, it’s homely.
